    Over heating?

    Nobody will know if your engine is truly overheating until you get a REAL temperature gauge on that engine.

    87 Crew Cab w/ 6 doors

    Better it happened now & not up the grapevine on the way to SD! That would have really sucked

    are these the right freeze plugs?

    For threads, yes. For freeze plugs, probably not.

    are these the right freeze plugs?

    I believe these engines came with sealant on freeze plugs from factory. Very good idea to put some on before installing them.

    EGT's and location of probe

    Not true. You will crack those cast iron cylinder heads if you have excessive egt's. I accidentally ran about 1500 on my new engine for about 30-45 seconds. The new .030 aluminum pistons were fine for some reason, and showed no signs of damage, but I cracked my heads in about 30 different places...

    White smoke from intake after i shut truck off

    I would check CDR, but this is normal. If your engine has lots of blowby, you might see a little more than usual.

    Develop a knock

    If you found that in your oil filter, time to tear it down. That engine is on borrowed time. See if you can post some pics as well. Like you previously thought, when you changed out the injector and it still made a knock, that rules out the possibility of it being an injector problem if it was...

    Develop a knock

    Gotta say I haven't been all that impressed with Delphi injectors in the past. Had a brand new set that lasted about 10k miles. Had them pop tested and 4 were bad leakers. The other 4 were all over the board and the spray pattern sucked. Ended up buying a set of new D code stanadyne injectors...

    Sounds like you found your problem. Those injectors are junk

    free crew cab??

    Haha tell that to the wife. We will be making a visit to the dealership & picking up a suburban when the time comes for that lol. That's what it has to be & no changing her mind on that one unfortunately.

    Radiator Cleaning Question

    I would say use dishwasher powder soap, as it does not foam all that much. It will get rid of the oily mess in the cooling system.

    Anyone have a guess at this filters micron rating?

    Had a double 5 micron filter setup when I was burning WATF back in college years ago. Seemed to filter pretty well but there would be a lot of black sediment on bottoms of my 5 gal tanks, so it wasn't getting all the crap out. I eventually ruined all 8 injectors, IP, & carboned up precups so...

    Ats 088 turbo question

    PM Russ aka typ4. He rebuilt my 088 and did a fantastic job on it. I had a stock wheel and my rig would put out 13 psi. I believe he offers a wicked wheel for it as well.

    New idea to help with heatsoak

    Don't mean to be that kind of guy, but why ruin the hood to help aid an existing problem when what you really need to do is replace the injection pump. Heatsoak is only common if you have a junk IP that needs to be rebuilt/replaced. Don't see how that would help your starting issue. And no...

    Valve train questions/issues

    Absolutely not. Ask me how I know all this already. Your valves will mushroom if they are recessed too much & not within factory specs. Been there done that.

    Valve train questions/issues

    Sounds like you have a big problem that needs to be addressed. I've had similar problems in the past. You need to pull the heads off that engine to see what's going on. I can bet that the valves are hitting pistons. I would verify that you have normal oil pressure at high rpms. If it's...

    What to do before new IP?

    Watch your egt gauge and you won't have to worry about melting pistons. 1150 is about the max for these engines.

    0-60 video tying to compare to what yours does

    What kind of truck do you have? Sounds like something is wrong with it if it's that slow.

    Sad Sad Day, Sold the Big Red Truck - Pictures and list of all the things I did to it.

    I've had a 6.4 as a spare work truck in the past. I agree, not even worth mentioning. Hate to say it, but I would probably rather have a 6.0h no.
